Description
The toasted Piedmont Hazelnut Flour IGP from Cascina Fontane is an ingredient of absolute excellence for your sweet and savory creations. Cascina Fontane performs the hazelnut roasting using the patented method called "Vertiflow." A jet of hot air allows the product to be suspended, rotating on itself: this ensures uniform cooking of the hazelnuts. Additionally, these are completely dehumidified, resulting in perfectly cooked interiors for a decidedly more fragrant taste. This process does not affect the flavor of the product and thoroughly cleans the fruits, preserving their oily component in the final phase, the sorting. The hazelnuts are manually selected one by one to remove defective ones and ensure perfection. The Piedmont Hazelnut IGP: excellence of Alta Langa Alta Langa is the natural home of an excellent variety of hazelnuts, belonging to the species Corylus Avellanae: the Tonda Gentile Trilobata, since 1993 bearing the designation "Protected Geographical Indication." Cascina Fontane exclusively produces Piedmont Hazelnuts I.G.P., which, due to their distinctive properties, are the most sought after by the confectionery industry and are universally considered the best in the world.
